For me its:

Euchre, Seahaven, TkYahtzee, TkHearts, Touchme Games, Xmahjjong, Flobopuyo, Freecell, Blackjack and Solitaire.

I love Supertux, but it's way too big, as is QT Texas Holdem Poker.

Euchre - I see it is in 2.15CE. Where is the *.pet
Seahaven - I only have a *.pup. Do you know where to find a *.pet
TkYahtzee - requires tk
TkHearts - requires tk
Flobopuyo - requires sdl
Xmahjjong - Added to Top10
Touchme Games - what is this / where can we find it
Freecell - wouldn't start in Puppy 4.00???
Blackjack - The one I found required QT.
Solitaire - 194 kb? Is there another one?

Hi Zigbert,

Actually I spend more time porting these games than playing them. Probably seahaven is the only one I use with any frequency. By the way, I'm not sure which version you're using in your .pet, but there is a slightly newer version, 1.50. http://seahaven.sourceforge.net/

I was also playing with the source as, because it's not re-sizeable, it looks OK on 800x600, but looks a bit dinky on higher resolutions. I found the xlib code a bit perplexing to effect resizing internally, so instead created 3 different versions depending on screen size. I've modified your .pet & attached it here.

It should detect whether your screen size is 800x600, 1024x768 or 1280x1024, and open the appropriate version. The 1280x1024 version does look a bit stretched though!

This xshisen also has a similar script to detect screen size.

I can't recall whether gsoko is gtk1 or gtk2 based.

Ok I'll try to bring a list here, I just packaged ace of Penguins plus made all the menu entries, I couldn't find the pet package on here, the link was broken. I included a custom icon for it also.

Zigbert,

Yeah, forget about xshisen & gsoko. The gsoko I linked to has somehow become corrupted & I'll have to re-upload it, but I'm pretty sure now that it's based on gtk1. Xshisen is even older & the library it's complaining about is an xlib which apparently isn't in pup4.

With regard to the seahaven I uploaded, yes it would have been the script I had not detecting your resolution. But I ran across a thread you started, on detecting screen resolution, and I pinched Pizzasgood's script from it, as it's a much more elegant solution than my hack, and I've re-uploaded above.

Unfortunately, it still won't cope with your non-standard resolution, as I've only included versions for 1280x1024, 1024x768 & 800x600. If you wanted to customise seahaven to fit your display, the dodgy approach I use is to just play with 5 lines in the source file, seahaven.h, then recompile. e.g for 1280x1024, the only change I did was play with these five lines in seahaven.h

Maybe the solution is to check only screen height.
if it below 768 then use 800x600
else use 1024x768.

I guess 1024x768 would be enough for a cardgame.
I can take a look at it.

Thanks for your package.
I didn't know that Euchre is a gtk1 game.
Sorry for that.
